$12 float switch from hydroponics store
$5 3 gallon rubbermaid container
$?? John Guest fitting and tubing (stole from the "taste filter" part of my RODI that I wasn't using). You can get the tubing from Home Depot in the water filter department, and I don't know where you can get the JG fittings from, I just used mine because it was handy.

Drill hole in rubbermaid about 1 inch from bottom, screw in JG fitting and silicone. Attach tubing. Install float switch (Jack made me a skookum float switch holder, its L shaped and is siliconed onto the sump, the float switch is attached to that). Hook up free end of tubing to float switch.

Sorry I don't have any pics. I can get some later on though. Its a pretty simple setup. Perhaps too simple. This is coming from a DIY challenged person

Oh and I don't supplement anything
